I wanted so desperately for my kids to be safe and happy, that I oftentimes didn’t allow them to fall and pick themselves back up

Expectations- we all have dreams for our kids but those dreams should never interfere with what our kids actually want. Encouragement is necessary and beneficial but expectation is toxic and dangerous. We should not be “living through” our kids, we should be sharing the experiences and life they choose. Expecting our kids to have a particular education, a certain job, earn a certain amount of money, be a particular sexual orientation or live a life you deem worthy is not unconditional love. Being embarrassed or ashamed of our kids if they are struggling in life, is more a reflection on our own lack than it is on our kids. I want to know my kids struggles so I can support them and we can work together for the healthiest outcome. My kids know there is nothing they cannot tell me, I will never judge them. If you can’t accept that your child will be their own person, suffer struggles and make mistakes or choose a lifestyle that makes them happy, rather then fitting into your mould- perhaps parenthood is not for you.

I wanted a happily ever after moment and entering your 30s without it feels scary

Theo did not like it at first. The coffee grinder is loud and frightening to him, unless Mama holds him. He does not want to be on the floor while Mama tends to the electric kettle, which is far too interesting for him to not watch up close himself. What’s more, the coffee grounds smell so good, and look like dirt. He wants to feel that for himself too, and he loves to grab the spoon Mama uses to remove the grounds from the grinder, spilling them on the counter. Mama sighs, but Theo finds it so enthralling.

I want to love myself, before I was pregnant, while I was pregnant, and now after being pregnant not only for myself but for Bug, too

She deserves a mom who isn’t measuring her self worth against that last roll of fat that will not budge off of her stomach (seriously, why the hell is that thing still sticking around), and who will bake (and eat) cookies with her on a cold winter’s day.

My feelings of overwhelm often stem from internal pressures that I’ve put on myself

I want to have activities planned for my kids every day. I have a hard time just letting them be bored (because then the whining ensues.) I want to limit screen time and make sure they spend enough time outside. Other things on my to-do list include reading Bible stories and to them and keeping the house clean throughout the day. I want to be productive and check things off my to-do list so that I feel like I’m doing enough. Then I have things I can point to and say “look what I got done today.”

I don’t cry because of the negative memories, I cry because I WON. I win over and over again every day, and I will never stop. I cry because I supported my children and provided them a life of opportunity, love, and consistency, when I should’ve broke. I cry because I decided to move on and chase my dreams, while remaining hopeful and positive. I also cry because it was worth the pain in order to find my loving fiance’, it was worth ending up in a job that I love to wake up to and it was worth it because I have found my PASSION for life. The passion and purpose was always there, but I just had to figure out where it was inside of me :).

I’ve been struggling with being consistent and being ready to finally choose me, choose to finally go after what i want

i feel like damn all these years went by with my same goals every year but didn’t achieve all of that yet because real life gave so much stress, looking at all the things i didn’t have instead of looking for a change and have positive thoughts. Now that i’m a mom life hits different, more motivated than ever, the timing is now. I’ve waited too long for this, but now I choose Happiness, I choose to show my daughter that it’s never too late to go after what you truly want in life and that you can achieve everything you put your mind too. I’m so ready for The next chapter and to show the world my creative mind.
